Lawmakers are interested in focusing on providing more nursing careand upgrade tribal health facilities, as well as to address the challengesof delivering care since most Native Americans no longer live onreservations (Swindell, 2 2). According to Michael Lincoln, Deputy Director of the Indian HealthService, major disparities exist in the overall health of the NativeAmerican population, as compared with the general American public. Indian affairs will focus on health. In addition, they often livein rural, isolated areas with few doctors; furthermore, "Today even astribal councils are gaining strength and taking over more governmentfunctions, poor nutrition, unsafe water supplies, inadequate waste disposalfacilities, and the twin plagues of alcohol and drug addiction damage thehealth of many people of the Indian nations." For the first time in thehistory of the HIS, a very specific process of consulting with the tribeshas been developed, including their input and also the input of the states,which are being given more responsibility for interaction with the tribes. They are to providehealth services while protecting the sovereign rights of the tribes. CQ Weekly 6 (43): 2926. FDCH Congressional Testimony, 1 October.Swindell, B. National Congress of American Indians Website; 25 May. Guiden and Johnson (2 ) wrotethat of all the racial and ethnic groups in the United States, NativeAmericans have long been among the most disadvantaged, in terms of theirhealth and their ability to get medical care.

Forexample, the incidence of Alcoholism is 77% higher and diabetes is 42 %higher. While most Americans have become accustomedto the waiting times and availability of services based on medicalshortages, the experience of the general population is nowhere near thedire state it is for Native Americans, who often cannot see a doctorunless/until they are on their deathbeds.

The IHCIA wasenacted "to implement the Federal responsibility for the care and educationof the Indian people by improving the services and facilities of FederalIndian health programs and encouraging maximum participation of Indians insuch programs" (Lincoln, 2 3). (2 2). The agency goal is to provideeffective, efficient services while being sensitive to the cultural andsocial aspects of the Native American community. References (2 5). "Two major pieces of legislation are at the core of the Federalgovernment's responsibility for meeting the health needs of AmericanIndians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs): The Snyder Act of 1921, P.L.67-85, and theIndian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), P.L.94-437.
